Real ugly

I apologise, I'll be away on business for the next couple of weeks, and won't be able to post any of my analysis.

Meantime, you can enjoy watching St Kevin reveal his true nature. Now that he is clearly in the ascendant, thanks to the Terminator's bungling of possibly the easiest free kick that he will ever get in his life, St Kevin has turned nasty.

And how!

The Oz is in his sights, as a regular and persistent critic of the idiocy of Rudd and Co. And there are reports that St Kevin is sending The Uglies in to bully corporate Australia into punishing the more vocal of his civil society critics.

Not exactly the sort of behaviour you want to see from our nation's leader. To be fair, St Kevin isn't the first minister suffering paranoia - Peter Costello was known for chasing down critics. But there are still no excuses for it. However, this behaviour should come as no surprise to regular readers, familiar as they are by now with the shortcomings in the Rudd character.

Now you know why I operate under a pseudonym.

Until next time,
